Cheers mate, thanks!

ShadowLord_45, yes. Shes in desperate need of an update after the pressure updates.
I'll get to her eventually 1SG! ;)

Accidentally posted this on the C1A, but does anyone know why the left engine doesn't start? I followed the tutorial, but I can't use the primer and start buttons with infinite electric off for some reason. I got the right engine to start just fine with infinite electricity on, so not sure why it doesn't work for the left engine.

That's fine. I was looking for a design I could learn off of

Sir_James01, they do.
However, this build is still mildly broken from the pressure update(s).
I'll fix it/them as time permits, sorry for the inconvenience.

Do the sonobuoys actually work?

sosa, I do have a Discord. You can find me on there as GERUNIMO#3543
I look forward to talking to you!

Do you have a Discord server? I am very interested in your sonobuoy system.

Thank you so much

Oh that's so clever, I thought you actually made an Magnetic detector, i would've never though to do that.

Texan, not a problem.
It uses two distance sensors to measure the distance below the aircraft, one sensor sweeps side to side.
It then will compare the two inputs, if and when you pass over a submerged object it will display that discrepancy between the submerged object and the sea floor on the 'print out'/screen.
Hope that helps!

I was asking how you made it, apologies for late response

Texan, sorry i don't understand.
Are you asking how YOU get it to work, or are you asking how I made it?

how did you get the MAD to work ?

Soup Sandwich, I assume you're being sarcastic?
If not, check the 'Grumman Tracker Collection' at the top of the description page.
The Firecat is alittle broken, but rest assured I'm working on fixing it.

man this plane needs a fire verson who else thinks that??

oh thanks so much

Soup Sandwicd, do you have 'infinite electricity' turned on?
Turn it off ;)

i can never get it above 17 in throttle with the gust lock off dose any one know whats wrong

I sorta semi-fixed it by moving over the nose gear servo one block to the left and putting one the sliding rails on the right side similar to the main gear locks. unfortunately its still sometimes gives but the trick is to inch the throttle forward and keep a bunch of back stick. The engines are actually not bad but they kinda lose power at 100% throttle so I just keep them right under. Great planes though. Infact all your stuff is really cool.

BomberEx, sorry you're having trouble.
Technically this aircraft is alittle broken (mostly involving the engines).
As for the gear my initial guess is either you're not taking the parking brake off, or you're playing on a low physics setting.

Whenever I try to take off the nose gear seems to give out and collapse. I have tried many attempts including slowly advancing the throttle, giving full back stick, reducing grip, and even disableing the front brake altogether. Is there something i might be missing or is it just somehow broken?

UPDATE 25 OCT 2022:
- Improved Radar (Low Gain Range: 10KM / High Gain Range 3KM)
- Sonobuoys now use Passive Sonar
- Torpedo equipped with passive Sonar
- Mark 6A Plotting Board usability improved
- Improved Ground Handling
- Improvement for lower 'Psychics Settings'
- Host of other cosmetic and functionality improvements

ENJOY!

Thanks!! Cant wait until a suitable carrier for this thing but until then ill just imagine

redvulture, glad you got everything figured out, happy flying! Now that you've seen a real one, imagine it landing and taking off from a relatively small carrier (by today's standards). Must have been a sight to see.

nvm i see it

one last question,where is gust lock located?

No im really new to this so i didnt see that thanks for telling me! also i love this creation i went to an air museum and saw this there it was big and i was soo glad you made this!! keep up the good work!!

redvulture, did you take the 'Gust Lock' off?

It wont let me full throttle

UPDATE 26 OCT 2021:
- Added explosive warhead rockets
- Torpedo is now sonar guided and capable of detecting submerged targets

ENJOY!

I'm actually excited because I used this often before xd

Northy, ABSOLUTELY! I'm working on a decent homing torpedo, hope to have it ready soon! Thanks for the comment!

Could you update this to the weapons DLC?

Oh sorry I didn't realize I had it on before I started using I was a craft that didn't have electricity on start up thanks for the help

Jleifker, yup, you have infinite electricity turned on. Again, hope that helps.

From what i can tell the gust is broken and will not unlock

UPDATE 23 Aug 2021:
- Aircraft now FINALLY capable of single engine flight. (Read description for operation)
- Rockets now fly straight

ENJOY!

Johnny Big Cakes, combination of un-merged parts and all the lua stuff. Glad you like it regardless! Thanks for the comment!

i dunno why this is so laggy for me but ery nice nonetheless

UPDATE 14 May 2021:
- Increased torpedo lethality
- Added 'run to shutdown' time, torpedo will shutdown after a period of time if no target is detected
(default: 6 minutes, editable in logic)
- Added ability for the torpedo to conduct a search pattern if after a certain time no target is detected
(default: 2 minutes, editable in logic)

ENJOY!

flyingpankake, glad you got it figured out! Happy flying!

Oh, I didn't have the AC gen field on so that's why it won't become bright and see a, "Sweep." Thanks!

flyingpankake, thanks for the nice comment, it means a lot! When you say you can't get the radar "on", do you mean it doesn't pickup contacts? If so, that is because you have the Radome in the 'up' position, it must be in the lowered or 'down' position to work, (you'll see it drop out the bottom of the aircraft). Or do you mean the screen never becomes bright and you don't see a 'sweep line'? If that is the case it is because either the right engine generator is off, or the AC generator field is off. You can verify the AC system is powered by looking at the AC voltage gauge located on the MAD/CM operator panel (you should see about 115 AC volts). I hope that helps, let me know how it goes.

I really like the plane but I can't get the radar on, I have the Radome Up and the power on but It doesn't seem to turn on

SuperKooks, thanks for the nice comment and yes I did pay for them.
I found them here: https://www.flight-manuals-online.com/

Where did you find the manuals? I assume you must have purchased them because I can't find a single free version.

btw, amazing build with incredible attention to detail.

Speed_Train, your welcome and I'm very glad you like them!

Thank you Sir for updating these awesome birds!!!
